Town Hall!

The Town Hall was interesting, and not quite what i hoped. it took roughly 15-20 minutes for all the citizens to arrive, so the rest of us were waiting. Did i mention we had to sit on the floor? ugh. Well everyone was talking, even during the speeches. Some weren't even that good. I don't know. I can't write the speeches because my fingers would get sore, but instead i'll just say how they did. I found John Lord's speech fantastic, and practical. Perrault's speech was short, and I found everyone started getting restless after that(bored? we may never know...). I found Nenshi's speech was expressionless, and after that everyone was EXTRA restless(i don't even know). I found it was also missing heart. With Sunstrum's speech, he only talked about the environment(the same ideas as most people: more trees, more parks, electric cars, yada yada...) yet he used probably 40 posters. poor trees. With Bruce's speech, at the end he said "VOTE FOR ME!" that seems kind of desperate to me.... Any who, Papez's speech was lacking expression(it was hard for me to pay attention, everyone talking, and my butt was sore from sitting on the floor.). But Sandra's speech had lots of expression, and some good ideas. she thought of using part of the "weed" plant to make paper, but the older citizens thought people would use it to their "advantage". 1. you only use part of the plant. 2. the drug comes from the bud. 3. its harmless, though the entire plant is banned from the country because people are worried about you-know-what. Carter's speech was shorter than i expected, but well put. Well that was all the speeches. During the questions someone asked what was different about most of them, because a lot of the things they wanted to do were the same. I'm pretty sure only 3 people could answer that. We-ell it looks like most people are going to vote depending if the person is their friend. OH. OH. i forgot to say, most people interviewed 1(yes i repeat ONE) person and decided they would vote for them. i just... i don't.. some people are so immature....
